The Delhi AIIMS administration ordered an investigation on Monday after a Twitter post alleging the premier hospital of serving meal with cockroach caught the attention of the internet.
According to details posted by the Twitter user, a cockroach was found in ‘daal’ served to a four-year-old.

Was patient’s first meal after surgery
The patient’s mother has now said that it was the first meal her son was having after he went through a rare intestinal surgery.
“This was my son’s third surgery. When I saw [the cockroach], I raised the grievance with the doctors and the staff available after which the dietary department apologised several times,” she told Indian express.
The mother stated that she has the utmost respect for the doctors and staff at the Institute as they were responsible for her son’s recovery. However, she said that the food quality there requires a drastic change.
“After I saw the food, I ordered from a cloud kitchen which was way better than the AIIMS food. While I can afford to buy it from outside, what about those who cannot?” she added.
